It only indicates potential. <br />Table 7-1 Solar Potential in Hugo <br />Gross Potential <br />(Mwh/yr) <br />Rooftop Potential <br />(Mwh/yr) <br />Gross Generation <br />Potential (Mwh/yr)2 <br />Rooftop Generation <br />Potential (Mwh/yr)2 <br />59,424,502 872,984 5,942,450 87,298 <br />Figure 7-1 Gross Solar Potential, Hugo
